In this episode of our new Christmas series, Proclamations of Christmas Pt 3: Angels’ Song, Walking The Text Founder Brad Gray unpacks the angels’ song in Luke 2:14. We know this song from the Latin words “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” (“Glory to God in the highest”). Ultimately, it’s a song about peace on earth. Yet, each day we’re reminded that our earth isn’t so peaceful. How can we sing about peace in the midst of chaos?
Well, that’s where the birth of Jesus comes in. Jesus was born during a period of relative stability known as the “Pax Romana” (Latin for “Peace of Rome”). Back then, the Romans prided themselves on bringing peace to the world. Unfortunately, their version of peace meant conquering people with their military and then forcing them to pay taxes. It was great if you were a Roman, but not for most of the rest of the world. That’s the point. Jesus, the Prince of Peace, was born into the midst of chaos.
Consequently, the peace Jesus brings is altogether different than the peace the Romans brought. The peace Jesus brings is more than the absence of conflict. It’s the presence of wholeness. By the end of Proclamations of Christmas Pt 3: Angels’ Song, you’ll see how lasting peace only comes from the Prince of Peace!
